Douglas County, Minnesota

Where to obtain records

Douglas County Auditor-Treasurer

How to find the information

Douglas’s Auditor/Treasurer guide says the office computes and collects both current and delinquent taxes and adds special assessments certified by local taxing districts. It separates property-tax payment options from tax-forfeiture Public Surplus information. Contact the office at 821 Cedar Street, Alexandria for an existing itemized delinquent ledger or dated payoff; a sale listing or a tax-rate calculation is a different record.

For existing records, provide the parcel/account identifier, tax year and desired as-of date. Specify an unpaid collection ledger, dated delinquent publication, tax judgment, confession-of-judgment plan ledger, expiration-of-redemption notice or tax-forfeiture record. Ask which special assessments, penalties, interest, costs and later payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, tax-search and extract charges before ordering. Assessment/ownership data, an original bill and a forfeited-property sale inventory do not certify the complete current delinquent amount.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Douglas County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
